I ASK FOR MY PATIENTS TO CONSIDER THESE ADD-ON (to their traditional medication and talk therapy) TREATMENTS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR THEIR TREATMENT RESISTANT DEPRESSION…
I REMIND ALL PATIENTS THAT OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS (OTCs)/SUPPLEMENTS ARE STILL DRUGS. JUST BECAUSE ONE CAN OBTAIN AND USES THESE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION, DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THEY ARE SAFE OR EFFECTIVE FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE FDA (FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION) DOES NOT ASSESS OTC HERBALS, VITAMINS, MINERALS, WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS, OR OTHER HEALTH ORContinue reading “I ASK FOR MY PATIENTS TO CONSIDER THESE ADD-ON (to their traditional medication and talk therapy) TREATMENTS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR THEIR TREATMENT RESISTANT DEPRESSION…”
THERE ARE EASIER AND HARDER GIGS, AS WELL AS MORE LUCRATIVE AND LESS LUCRATIVE GIGS IN EVERY PROFESSION. WE HAVE MORE POWER TO CHOOSE THAN WE THINK. CONSEQUENTIALLY, WE MAY BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES, AND ASSOCIATED LIFE CHANGES, WHICH COME WITH OUR CHOICES.

It is frustrating that there are many years’-worth of clinical experience which show that OPEN DIALOGUE (a Finnish, technique which is very helpful in treating psychosis) helps clients become significantly more functional without the use of, adverse-effects-laden antipsychotic medications. Much more quantitative research is needed in order to prove the effectiveness of OPEN DIALOGUE, but the potential value that this technique brings is very encouraging in this era of polypharmacy. All chronic diseases, especially in mental health, exist in part, outside of the client’s/patient’s body. These diseases, in part, exist in a person’s genetics, nutrition, childhood/upbringing, traumas, supportive environments, as well as their relationships, and their connections. These life events inform a person’s understandings, thoughts, beliefs, and eventually, their behaviors and actions.

BEING FAST IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING EFFECTIVE OR BEING EFFICIENT. WE WANT TO BE EFFECTIVE IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL(s). WE WANT TO BE FAST AND EFFICIENT IN ORDER TO PRESERVE OUR TIME AND OUR ENERGY.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REGULARLY REVIEW OUR OWN, HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT, LIFE DECISIONS AND THEIR RESULTS. THEN, WE CAN DECIDE TO MAKING CHANGES, OR WE CAN RECOMMIT TO ACCEPTING OUR DECISIONS AND HOW THESE DECISIONS HAVE LED US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
It is quite unsettling to review entrenched assumptions, decades-old decisions, accepted results, reasonable consequences and still want to make changes which probably will change the course of our lives. Even if we are open to such introspection, others who may become affected by our choices, may not understand, and may not be accepting. The mostContinue reading “IT IS IMPORTANT TO REGULARLY REVIEW OUR OWN, HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT, LIFE DECISIONS AND THEIR RESULTS.

A GOOD THERAPIST SHARES SOME OF HER/HIS EMOTIONAL STABILITY AND HEALTHFUL EMOTIONAL ENERGY WITH THE SUFFERING CLIENT.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT, “WHAT AM I ABLE TO DO?”, OR, “WHAT DO I WANT TO DO?” IT’S MORE ABOUT, “WHAT AM I WILLING TO DO?”, AND, “WHAT I HAVE DONE THUS FAR.”

EVEN BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT ESPECIALLY SINCE EASY ACCESS TO MANY TYPES OF AUDITORY AND VISUAL DISTRACTIONS, MANY OF US ARE AFRAID OF MISSING OUT ON EVENTS HAPPENING AROUND US, AND EVENTS HAPPENING WITHOUT US. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY ACUTE PROBLEM WHEN WE TRY TO PAY ATTENTION, FOCUS, AND CONCENTRATE ON THE TASKS AT HAND.
